| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Improper fastener selection leading to galvanic corrosion with dissimilar metals. | Utilize fasteners made from compatible materials like stainless steel or anodized aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion. |
| Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress concentrations and potential sheet deformation. | Employ a torque wrench to tighten fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended specifications, ensuring even clamping force. |
